“As a local business, we do our best to try and work with all of our customers and do our best to meet their needs, whatever they are.

“So this came as some very unexpected but still very welcome news.”

John Legg, director of RNIB Scotland, said: “For people with sight loss, the Go Shop Awards have provided hope that service-providers will listen and are prepared to make changes to the way they work, to make their goods and services more accessible.

“For businesses, it has been an opportunity to learn about the challenges people face in their everyday activities.

“And this doesn’t necessarily have to mean elaborate or expensive changes.

“Several have commented on how the awards have transformed the way they think about the needs of blind and partially sighted consumers, which was precisely the kind of response we were hoping for.

“We need to work together towards more practical solutions for people living with disabilities.”
